Recent Advances in Materials for Wearable Thermoelectric Generators and Biosensing Devices.
Review in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Recently, self-powered health monitoring systems using a wearable thermoelectric generator (WTEG) have been rapidly developed since no battery is needed for continuous signal monitoring, and there is no need to worry about battery leakage. However, the existing materials and devices have limitations in rigid form factors and small-scale manufacturing. Moreover, the conventional bulky WTEG is not compatible with soft and deformable tissues, including human skins or internal organs. These limitations restrict the WTEG from stabilizing the thermoelectric gradient that is necessary to harvest the maximum body heat and generate valuable electrical energy. This paper summarizes recent advances in soft, flexible materials and device designs to overcome the existing challenges. Specifically, we discuss various organic and inorganic thermoelectric materials with their properties for manufacturing flexible devices. In addition, this review discusses energy budgets required for effective integration of WTEGs with wearable biomedical systems, which is the main contribution of this article compared to previous articles. Lastly, the key challenges of the existing WTEGs are discussed, followed by describing future perspectives for self-powered health monitoring systems.
